Chapter 172 This is a miracle

Yun Qingqing and Zhiluo sat opposite each other, speechless as they looked at the pile of lucky bags on the table that had been turned over and swapped inside out.

In Yun Qingqing's spiritual eyes, the evil talisman drawn in the lucky bag was emitting faint black air, which was coming towards her in wisps.

"Oh my god, these evil things actually came from the hands of the Crown Princess? These two are really capable, one uses military rations to make a profit, and the other steals other people's luck. If these people really ascend to the throne, I think Daliang's luck will be almost over."

"But you are really brave to bring so many unlucky things with you. I know you are capable, but as they say, it is better to be safe than sorry. Are you really not afraid of capsizing in the gutter?"

Zhiluo supported her chin and fiddled with a small lucky bag. A faint light flashed at her fingertips, and the evil runes disappeared with a hiss.

Yun Qingqing's expression did not change much:

"You have a point, but this is nothing to me, it's not even a gutter."

As he spoke, he picked up a lucky bag and threw it back into the space, leaving the rest on the table. With golden light flashing from his fingertips, he drew a small formation in the air.

As the last stroke of the formation was made, it slowly flew up and hovered above the pile of lucky bags.

All the lucky bags were surrounded by light.

Zhiluo looked at the changes in the lucky bags, and a puzzled look gradually appeared in her eyes:

"Huh? Why don't you just take care of all this stuff?"

"The time has not come yet. If we deal with it now, wouldn't it make Yun Bailian alert?" Yun Qingqing said.

"Oh, that's right." Zhiluo nodded, "Then what did they ask you to change this curse into?"

Yun Qingqing grinned:

"Doesn't she want a lot of luck? So I kindly changed the spell to one that borrows luck from her future."

"Puchi." Zhiluo gave a thumbs up, "It has to be you."

The formation dissipated, and Yun Qingqing put away her smile:

"I need your help with something. I was planning to go by myself, but it's clear that you are more suitable for this task than me."

Zhiluo understood:

"It's a dark and windy night, isn't it? Leave it to me!"

…

The day of offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for blessings is coming soon.

At nightfall the day before, Yun Bailian dismissed the servants, closed the doors and windows, and took out a wooden box from under the bed.

Opening the wooden box, there was a seemingly ordinary bronze mirror inside.

She carefully picked up the bronze mirror and turned it over. She saw that the back of the bronze mirror was engraved with dense lines and runes, forming a complex formation.

And in the center of the formation, there is a jade-white decoration with strange talismans engraved on it.

Yun Bailian raised the corner of his mouth gloomily, took out a needle, pierced his fingertips, and smeared the blood on the white decoration.

When she turned the mirror over again, she saw ripples on the originally bronze surface.

Then the mirror surface seemed to boil, spitting out colorful crystal bubbles, which condensed into substance in a moment and fell on the table like pearls, making a tinkling sound, which was very pleasant to hear.

"There are so many this time!" Yun Bailian sighed in surprise, and then sneered grimly, "Yun Qingqing, I didn't expect your luck to be so strong! How can you deserve it!"

"From now on, I will accept everything!"

She was playing with the beads with great joy when she suddenly heard a "clicking" sound outside the window.

"who!"

Yun Bailian's expression became serious and he immediately rushed over and opened the window.

A gust of night wind blew towards her, making her shiver. The moonlight outside the window was as bright as water, illuminating the yard, but she could not see any figure.

"Meow--"

There was a cat's meow, accompanied by the rustling of trees.

Yun Bailian's expression relaxed. She closed the window and returned to the table. She put the bronze mirror back into the wooden box and hid it under the bed.

Looking back at the pile of beads, she smiled with a determination to win.

"With so much luck, at the festival tomorrow, I will be the Phoenix Cloud White Lotus that will stun the entire Liang Kingdom!"

…

The next day, the Emperor of Daliang led the royal family, civil and military officials to gather at the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices.

The Temple of Heaven of Daliang State was located in the center of the busiest street block in the imperial city, so that all people could offer sacrifices together during ceremonies, demonstrating that everyone from the royal family to the common people were united in their respect for the heavens.

Especially this sacrificial ceremony is for good weather in the two rivers in the coming year, and for the people's livelihood in the entire Daliang.

Therefore, the court issued a notice early, and as the auspicious time approached, people had already flocked to the open space outside the Temple of Heaven that was reserved for viewing, and there was a huge crowd of people.

Yun Qingqing turned down the task of offering sacrifices to heaven and stood in the position of a royal relative.

The Regent was the prince with the highest status, so she naturally stood at the front, able to see clearly what was happening on the altar.

It was early winter, and the north wind was howling. Suddenly, a strange wind blew against the north wind.

Yun Qingqing turned her head and saw Zhiluo's red skirt and long hair flying. She was sitting on the palace wall not far away, waving at her and smiling.

The mountain ghost girl sat there ostentatiously and seductively. There were thousands of civil and military officials and imperial guards, but no one noticed her except Yun Qingqing.

Yun Qingqing nodded slightly at her and looked away.

The loud bell rang, and the auspicious time arrived.

Yun Bailian, wearing gorgeous sacrificial robes, walked up to the altar step by step, unfolded a long blessing and began to pray.

The structure of this Altar of Heaven and the entire square is special. If a person stands in the center and speaks loudly, everyone in the square can hear him clearly.

Yun Bailian had been practicing hard for this moment in the past few days. The gorgeous and dignified dress, the solemn atmosphere of the ceremony, and her already exceptionally sweet voice made her look like an immortal, which made the people of the whole city admire her.

If noise was not strictly prohibited at this moment, the people would have probably shouted in praise.

After successfully reading the blessing, Yun Bailian poured wine and worshipped heaven and earth under the guidance of the ceremonial officer.

Before pouring the wine, she quietly crushed all the luck beads hidden in her sleeves.

But after a moment, the people outside suddenly became restless.

"What's this?"

"Huh? Where do all these butterflies come from?"

"It's already winter, how come there are still butterflies?"

The blessing had already been read, and according to etiquette there was no need to remain silent, so the low-pitched commotion quickly spread like ripples, and more and more people expressed surprise.

The butterflies flew over the heads of the crowd and gracefully flew towards the center of the square. Finally, they surrounded Yun Bailian, dancing up and down.

At first, there were dozens or even hundreds of butterflies. As the civil and military officials and the common people exclaimed in amazement, the number of butterflies increased. There were actually tens of thousands of butterflies, circling around the white lotus, glowing with colorful colors in the sunlight, forming a wonder that the world had never seen before!

Yun Bailian raised the corners of his mouth high, slowly raised his arms, and shouted:

"A miracle! This is a miracle!"

"God bless our Daliang! The people are blessed!"

After a moment's silence, the entire square erupted in thunderous cheers.

"God has sent down a miracle!"

"The Crown Princess is a phoenix! It is a blessing for Daliang!"

"It's a miracle brought by the Crown Princess!"

Even the civil and military officials could not hold back and cheered in unison with the people.

The emperor was very pleased:

"Great, great! We have Tianfeng in Daliang. It's a blessing from our ancestors! It's a gift from God!"

Yun Qingqing's eyes were cold as she turned towards the figure on the palace wall.

Zhi Zhiluo had already stood up and looked at Yun Bailian who was cheering with a sneer on her face, and raised her hand.

Amid the thunderous cheers, there was suddenly an unusual noise.

No one noticed it at first, but the sound got closer and closer, and became more and more obvious. Finally, someone turned around and exclaimed:

"Look! What is that!"
